Description
Some Jazz a While, the eagerly anticipated collected poems of one of America's best-loved poets, gathers Miller Williams's most representative work and adds some new pieces as well. This generous collection welcomes newcomers as well as longtime admirers of Williams's trademark style: a compact and straightforward language, a masterful command of form, and an unsentimental approach to his subject matter. Williams treats the mundane interchanges, the lingering uncertainties, the missed opportunities, and the familiar sense of loss that mark daily life with the surgeon's deft touch.
First Sentence
He pulled off on the shoulder, less to lend respect than room, because the road was narrow in the rain and saw the procession creep around the bend to where his squinting eyes had caught the sign of the Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church and an unpronounceable county line.
